Subject: Movie serial matches the imagination
This movie serial exactly matches the Tarzan books by E. R. Burroughs which I read as a kid.
Superb. Thanks.

Subject: Superb Film
"Tarzan the Tiger" was inspired by Edgar Rice Burrough's "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar". This film was a thoroughly excellent adaptation that Burroughs probably liked. Tarzan isn't portrayed as the Jungle illiterate that later Hollywood liked, but instead is intelligent and articulate. You will enjoy the characters of both Jane and La.
If you are a fan of all things Tarzan, then you will greatly enjoy this film.

As for the restoration, It's too bad the film is so dark from age, the music and sound effects are perfect. Occasionally, the text frame can't be read, but nothing is really lost. It's still good cinema.

Subject: Jungle Action complete or not
This is another great find for me, some people may not understand it but I'm happy even if it was not complete. To me it's fantasy history & I've never seen it before so It's like new to me even though it's history to many. Anyway if your looking for some Jungle action you've found it and
if you ain't checked Africa Speaks you may want to
I believe this has a real death by Lion or was that an act.

Subject: Sorry for the delay in loading the remaining Chapters
Again, as in the case of my upload of BATTLING WITH BUFFALO BILL (1932), I had server problems with my upload of TARZAN THE TIGER. I will try to upload the rest of the chapters (8-15) soon. I hope that you enjoy it.

Subject: Let Down
Wish I'd read review before watching. Love silent flicks but where's the ending?

Interesting serial. But where is the rest of it? I hope you are going to up-load the rest!

For the day it came out in, this would have been considered very good. Some people may not like this, but I love this old form of art!

I gave it 4 stars, only because it isn't complete. If it was all there I would have given it 5 stars for sure.

Part 5 also has parts 6 and 7.
